Glistening Black Songtext / Lyric

A great blue whale where as it lives in the water

eagle bone hollow... life in the sky

whistle bone

pipe stone

the heart of man is a throne

wild wild wild he carries the child home

heaven hands high

freedom heaven hands high



There is no bird... in the sky

who can fly... who can fly on by

to this place of quiet

this fires repose

in heavens hand high it glows

in heavens hand high it glows

one for the many

made straight the way






You ask me for darker things

of the hardened road

the crooked row hoed

all shod in shame I wager

you'll be dazed by the serious nature...

from La Junta on to Rocky Ford

rocky boy rocky boy rocky boy know the Lord

what can she do but say yes

to the black of the wild

confide and confess



freedom heaven's hand high

one for the many



Brought down town

every high brow

every thought of justice

of just deserved a dead man's curve

our thoughts are burning trust us



He made straight away

straight the way a level plane

straight the way a level plain



In the silver darkness

glistening black

his shadow glows

to cover and clothe

to set at right... the fire of light

reeling drunken on the earth

unbelief weighing upon it

my mind in your hand

in the lion's heart... I the lamb



Heaven hands high

freedom heaven hand's high

make straight the way
